Does this skill delete my Git branches automatically?

No, it is not fully automatic. It will identify if you are on a feature branch and ask for your permission to switch to main and delete the branch only after the work is archived.

How is the archive index updated?

The skill automatically appends a summary entry to the top of the archive's README.md, including the duration of the work, the branch name, and a brief overview.

What happens if I try to archive an incomplete spec?

The skill will detect incomplete tasks or criteria and ask for confirmation. If you choose to proceed, it will mark the archive status as 'Incomplete' and prompt you to document why it was moved.

Where are the archived files stored?

Files are moved from the ./specs/active/ directory to the ./specs/archive/ directory within your local repository structure.
